Venuous Reflux (Venuous Insufficiency)

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

Can this therapy be helpful with Venuous Reflux or Venuous Insufficiency? It is a condition caused as a result of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)?

Technically both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be helpful for a range of cardiovascular issues, but proper diagnosis of the underlying factors is key. With conditions of this nature you want to consult directly with a licensed acupuncturist who also practices Chinese herbal medicine.

Thank you. My husband has been treated for some time for this condition but it has worsened recently and we wondered if any of your methods might be helpful. What about Tong Ren Therapy? Would that be helpful?

Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

Tong ren therapy is fine for everything and there are no possible side effects, but there are some limitations technically where that combined with acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal medicine will yield the best results.
